Might not notice any difference but it has not hurt that I can see. My wife and I have pretty much mirrored configurations. Sans a different launcher and the fact I keep updating modems as they come out they are the same. I saw no changes on my phone, where as she has pretty much doubled her battery life with the upgrade. It might have just been the refreshing of the ROM in general, but it was a marked improvement for her. I might be wrong, and someone please correct me if I am but if you see any negative changes with 4.1 I am assuming using the NO_DATA format and reflashing 4.0 should get you back.

Here is my phone setup: (wife's phone has FC24 modem)

ROM: Blazer v4.1

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-rogue_ET-1.4.1+

Modem: FD05

Theme: Dark Fire Blue X v2.1.1

PRL: 11119
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
I don't know because I never had 4.0 but I did have Caulkins, then went to Nocturnal then to ICS Venom Rom and with all the ICS issues, I came back and tried this. This is by far the most stable rom I have had other than the original that came with my phone.

I am using exactly what it comes with. No modem updates or kernal updates. It just works. I have watch vids that I made and everything.

I was running 1115 with very good results but figured 1119 was newer. Don't know what the difference is at all but it works too. I now have full bars 3g on the internal verizon repeaters at work. Just make sure you read that whole post and watch your roaming bandwidth!

Amazing Battery Life!

First off, I want to say thanks to Phantom!

This ROM is hands down the most stable and fastest one out there for our phones.

The battery life is amazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
I just recently switched from stock el29 kernal to gunslinger because battery life was horrid but now with the gunslinger my phone is kinda laggy and I got a soft reboot. Battery life however is now phenominal but I cant deal with the lag and will not deal with reboots of any kind soft or hard. What is the best kernal for battery life and performance? Please nobody recommend hitman I had very big problems with it almost bricked my phone.

What SetCPU profiles are you using?

Would you mind showing a screenshot of your profiles tab?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
I get 14-16 hrs of heavy use outta my stock battery, very happy with it. I'm running the setup in my sig and it's running amazing. I don't know why you would OC this, I'm UC'd and and it runs flawlessly. I have a 3800 Trexcell coming this week, that's gonna turn this phone into a monster of a device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omegatek:
I performed everything in the following order:

flashed Blazer (reboot)

flashed Calk's Bare ROM Converter (reboot)

installed my apps and SetCPU

ran Ericwgarza1's Universal Odex (reboot)

disabled auto-sync (settings > accounts and sync)

disbabled haptic feedback

disabled auto brightness and set to 25%

charge battery to 100% and used BatteryCalibration from the market

Flashed v4.1 over the weekend. Decided to do a full wipe and install all my apps fresh from the play store. Battery life has been on par with v4.0 so far... Getting 3-3.5 hours of screen time.

The only problem I came across was with the stock video app force closing on me once I try to scroll and view my list of videos. Happening for anyone else? Playing them through mobo player or through ES File explorer works fine though. I did delete a bunch of videos on the SD card right before I flashed the rom, maybe I deleted something I shouldn't have, but i doubt it since its only videos and pictures in the DCIM folder
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Its working fine for me. Try going into settings, applications, manage applications, then hit the all applications tab then find videos app and click it and clear data and clear defaults. After that I would suggest a reboot and see if that does anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N8K:
So I changed to the stock kernel and am still having the inefficient storage available. Any other possible fix?

Also will not allow me to update apps :(

Edit: now saying SD is full when trying to move apps to it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
I and someone else had a problem where 4.1 won't play DIVX encoded videos. Has this been fixed? Are you able to play DIVX videos? When I was running 4.1, no force closes and MP4s play fine but DIVX files just won't open. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
DFX v3.0 & DFBX 2.5 are up....

Dark Fire X v3.0 and Dark Fire Blue X v2.5 for Blazer 4.1 are now live.

Make sure you read the notes in the OPs before flashing.

Enjoy :)

Have you tried FC24 modem?

When I switch to FC24, my signal went from 2-3 bar to 3-4, stable and stays at 4 bar mostly from places I mostly travel, work school clubs (except inside club). Try it bro.

still having the best battery and performance on blazer 4.0 thank you Phantom:)

benchmarks around 3800 - 4000 no O/C

[this screenshot is with my 1800 batt, wifi always on,gps on, brightness at 12%,inverted almost all apps, sync on, el29 modem]

...with my trexcell i get around 10+ hrs screen-on time which is crazy because i have MSAA enabled (which works so well with our Exynos[sp?] chip) on the Chainfire3d app with all my games and this thing runs kinda warm. just showing my exp with this rom in case ppl wanna still get the most of the el29. :)

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

that battery has to be bad or the modem.. idk but that is not right man. i use the el29 modem which has been best for me in my exp.

try swapping the battery maybe? or that idea that Riddick posted below sounds good too.

LCD Changer help

To Phantom

Is there a way to modify one of the toggle? The sound/vibrate toggle to properly fit with the rest of the toggle? I'm using LCD density changer by Beansoft. Everything is working fine.

Apps that don't scale,

Default Touchwiz and Default Contact

Which really don't matter to me because I'm using GoLaucher EX and GoContact EX as replacement.

Attached is the screenshot I would like to fix myself for my own use.

Please Phantom, can you guide me?

Thank you

To orangemonster's battery problem

Try using CPU Usage Monitor, enable Statusbar Notification with Show CPU usage , Show CPU Frequency, notification type: Text, Notification Color: white.

Monitor your CPU usage... if your phone is at constant 1.0 or 1.2 frequency with random cpu process, then apps running in the background consuming alot of CPU at those frequency, higher frequency can drain your batter fast. And if its the case, then use any App monitor, I prefer WatchDog. Launch it and go to CPU and enable Real time CPU, it will show the CPU percentage of all the apps running in the background. Check your CPU usage notification bar at what frequency those high CPU app running at. then you can tell which app drains battery by CPU usage and Frequency range.

I know for a fact that whenever I enable WiFi, there's a background server called Wi-Fi sharing that consume 30-60% CPU at 1.0-1.2 frequency. It would stay in that range for a good 10min then it dies down to 0% CPU. My solution was disable and enable wifi again. That pretty much solved one of my battery drain problem.

Pardon my engrish and grammer. I was in bed and just had to post a reply. ^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
Yeah, I'd try a different modem. I think it's the poor signal that's causing that. When you have a bad signal, the phone keeps searching and connecting/disconnecting the data which kills battery. I don't know if it's exactly doing this but it has to do with data. My office has really bad signal and before I got an Airave, my battery life looked exactly like this. When I was home and had full bars, the phone would stay alive the whole weekend. You can test to see if this is the problem by going into settings and disabling data (or connect to wifi) and see if that doesn't immediately boost your battery life. If so, then it's your signal and hopefully a new modem will work although I'd just ask Sprint for an Airave if you have the ability to install one.

Weirdest thing happened to me yesterday

I had 4G but not actual phone reception(if that makes sense?)

Lost reception going in a tunnel and never regained it

I couldn't make calls or text but i could browse the web

drained my battery like crazy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
That's happened to me before, just toggle airplane mode and you'll be back up to speed in no time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
dumb question, but whats the difference with the Calks regular format all and the no data one? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skippwhy:
Well the modified one doesn't format data, so you keep all of you apps, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RCOVA:
The format all zip formats all your phone and the no data zip formats everything except data. Somewhat self explanatory. But I don't mind :)

Hi

Is this an acceptable battery life under this ROM?

thanks, appreciate your input in advance.

Going to vary per user, screen on time is what a lot of people look at but I get around that too.

Grab Download All Files from the play store :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nfs3freak:
Facebook? What is this madness?!

Jk. That's pretty acceptable. You should be able to squeeze more out of it though. Use some app/program that turns off unnecessary items and kill programs you aren't using at the moment (like Facebook or any games/apps)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uhupong:
Today is my 3rd day on this rom and i'm at 35% with 14hrs 39 mins. Forgot to mention that yesterday time was with 20 mins of 4g hotspot included.

Look like i will set a new record for myself today.

Thanks for every responds , appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
Whats your setup ??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uhupong:
just this rom and el29 modem if that what you mean by set up. No alteration to anything after flashing the rom in.

Best ROM Ever

I don't know how I haven't tried Blazer until now...

I have tried various ICS leaks. CM9. AOKP. And various Gingerbread ROMs

Blazer 4.1, I am literally positive, is the best ROM ever on any phone ever made.

It's just amazing.

I flashed Calk's 5 by 5 app drawer/5 icon dock mod but that's the only change i'm going to make. (Found here: http://www.phantomroms.com/mods.html)

It's just a flawless ROM. Thanks so much Phantom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nfs3freak:
That's a HUGE claim!

And I agree with you :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SpunkyXL:
Silent mode doesnt stay on..I enable silent mode at work, and an hour later it resets.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I might agree if we were able to adjust volume during a call....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thx0849:
You can, just pull it away from your face and do it, annoying I know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
There are fixes posted on phantomforums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
It is annoying but I like to be able to skip my music tracks with the volume rocker while the screen is off so its a good trade off. In my opinion.

Thanks for that option phantom even though many don't like it, I love the option and this Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
Could you tell me exactly where on his site i just looked ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
my volume works ok... i just had to pull the phone away for the screen to wake back up. I can live with that for the rest of the awesomeness this rom provides.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jay2o01:
not taking any credit for this, just had what you're looking for

someone posted this before in the calk 2.8 forum. worked for me to restore volume keys to stock while in call
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skippwhy:
But doesn't break the skip music function?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Yeah, it's a tradeoff.. :P

this is the link where i got it originally , maybe try to dl from there.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23704450&postcount=9721

tried it again, still works... just to confirm, you are trying to adjust call volume without moving the phone away from your ear right? this allows just that for 4.1 for me... download it and flash with clockwork mod...

Here is Calk's 5x4 tw launcher, flashable zip.

Please backup your rom first and let me know if it works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xjreyes:
Thanks it worked, plus I never back up, every time I do clockwork can never find md5 , now to get rid of the battery % it'll be complete.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It takes forever to do the md5 for me if the backup are stored on external SD. I use Rom Manager's recovery to do backups ONLY. It saves to internal SD and the rogue recovery seems to run much faster from there with no issues. Maybe you should reformat the external SD card when you have a chance too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xjreyes:
Thanks for the tip, I personally just gave up trying. Then again i dont use an sd card with plenty of internal memory we have. Plenty for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is odd then. The only issues I've really had with CWM were when I copied a backup over to a computer as backup and then copied them back. It would give me an MD5 mismatch if I tried to use it on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
You could actually switch between internal or external on rogue recovery, I don't like how ROM manager puts other files there to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks for this. That was too obvious and I never tried it except for restores. LOL

Are you using the stock kernel or gunslinger? I'm curious, I'm happy with my battery life but I'm using gunslinger, never ran the stock kernel. If the stock kernel could achieve this kind of battery then I'm flashing it.

Stock, no need to use gunslinger cuz I never oc. Enjoy!

I know all devices are different but I got horrid battery life on stock kernal I could barely make it through a day with moderate use. On Gunslinger I can almost make it 2 days on one charge with pretty heavy use. Only thing I didnt like about gunslinger with this rom is it made my phone kind of laggy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
My rule of thumb is turn it down just were you can see it. Halfway is high unless your in direct sunlight. I had a hard time when I first got this phone i always had the brightness halfway or more because the screen was so pretty but I quickly learned the battery dropped and the phone would heat up.
